Chapter 126: Unsurmountable hurdles

Just as Su Ci put Su Hua down, he saw Zhao Shizhu rushing in.

He breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Su Ci was safe and sound.

He looked at Su Hua who was lying on the side and asked, "What happened to Su Hua?"

Su Ci pushed Zhao Shizhu away with all her strength, glaring at him: "Why are you pretending? Su Hua said that in order to save your mother, you made me an abandoned child. You wanted to feed me a bowl of Xiaoyao soup and turn me into a living dead. If I hadn't taken the initiative, I would be the one who has become like this today!"

said it.

This has been her biggest concern for a long time, but today she blurted it out under such an opportunity.

Just as Zhao Shizhu was about to explain, Qixi rushed in and said, "Your Majesty, Liu Hu has been captured, but we have searched the entire house and found no trace of the nobleman."

Zhao Shizhu held Su Ci's shoulders and spoke word by word, "Ah Ci, I can't exchange you for anyone else. Even if it costs my life, I can't do such a vicious thing to you. Believe me, I like you so much, how can I give you up? It's Su Hua who is trying to sow discord between us, don't believe her. Go to the next room and calm down for a while. I'll come to accompany you after I've dealt with Liu Hu."

Su Ci endured the pain in his abdomen, turned his head and ignored Zhao Shizhu.

Zhao Shizhu walked up to Qixi and ordered, "You will stay with Ah Ci for a while, and you can't leave her side for even a step."

Qi Xi quickly agreed and watched Zhao Shizhu walk away before he sent Su Ci to another quiet and bright room.

Seeing Su Ci's sullen face, he couldn't help but defend Zhao Shizhu: "I have served Your Majesty for many years, and I have never seen Your Majesty care so much about someone. That year, the queen fell into the lake and disappeared, and only Nanny Tang was with her. It was because of Nanny Tang's dereliction of duty that Your Majesty killed her in anger. In fact, Nanny Tang can be considered half of Your Majesty's benefactor, but for the sake of the queen, Your Majesty easily killed Nanny Tang, which shows how important the queen is in Your Majesty's heart. The queen has been missing for three years, and Your Majesty has never given up looking for her. Under this premise, how could Your Majesty hurt the queen?"

Su's poems are also very contradictory.

She was actually just taking advantage of the situation.

Ever since the first day she saw the barrage, Xiaoyao Soup has become a hurdle in her heart that she cannot get over.

She didn't care so much before, but now she cares a lot. The reason why she cares is that she also has Zhao Shizhu in her heart.

She can comfort herself that the live drama is a live drama and the original work is the original work, and there are differences between the two. She should forget the plot in the original work.

"Qi Xi, please let me be alone for a while." Su Ci's voice was hoarse.

She still had some abdominal discomfort, but it had basically recovered.

Qi Xi was a little worried. She didn't dare to go too far, nor did she dare to disobey Su Ci's wishes. She had to go to a place not far away so that she could keep an eye on Su Ci closely to prevent anything from going wrong.

On the other side, Zhao Shizhu was concerned about Su Ci. Thinking that Su Ci almost took the Xiaoyao Soup, he attacked Liu Hu ruthlessly the moment he caught Liu Hu.

Liu Hu laughed wildly: "I knew you were not that easy to deal with. It's ridiculous that Hua'er still wanted to control you. I should have killed you the moment I saw you!"

Zhao Shizhu sneered when he heard this: "You can't kill me. I ask you, where is my mother?"

Liu Hu laughed and shook his head: "Do you think I will tell you?"

"You will tell it." Zhao Shi raised his hands one by one, and two thin men appeared.

"Take Liu Hu away and torture him. Don't let him die. Try him carefully." Zhao Shizhu ordered in a cold voice. "Yes, Your Majesty!" The two replied in unison.

Afterwards, Zhao Shizhu searched the entire house and interrogated Wang again. Wang knew nothing about anything he asked. When she saw Su Hua turned into a living dead, she went crazy and wanted to see Su Ci.

Zhao Shizhu felt that Wang was too noisy, so he simply had Wang detained and Su Ci would deal with her later.

He later dug the house deep inside but still couldn't find Wei Jing's whereabouts, and suddenly felt a little confused.

People like Liu Hu are not afraid of death. Even if he is tortured, Liu Hu may not reveal the whereabouts of his mother. If he can't find his mother, then what is the meaning of everything he has done over the years?

He knew that Su Ci had misunderstood him, but he didn't dare to go to her in such a negative state, for fear that he would affect her mood.

Su Ci saw that Qi Xi was still guarding him when it was dark, and frowned, "Why don't you go and see how your master is doing?"

Liu Hu's screams lasted for most of the day, which meant that he had been tortured. This also meant that Liu Hu was unwilling to reveal where Wei Jing was, right?
Qi Xi was indeed worried about his master, but his Majesty had ordered him to protect Su Ci, and he dared not disobey the order.

"I want to accompany Her Majesty." Qi Xi replied in a muffled voice.

Su Ci felt that Qi Xi was stubborn and it was obvious that Zhao Shizhu needed comfort more at this time.

A big part of the reason why Zhao Shizhu was so eager for the throne was because he wanted to rescue Wei Jing from Liu Hu. But now Wei Jing's whereabouts are unknown, how tormented must Zhao Shizhu be?
Su Ci was too lazy to persuade him anymore. After dinner, she took a bath and felt refreshed, but Liu Hu's screams continued.

She didn't want to worry about Zhao Shizhu, but she was always afraid that he would blame himself for not being able to find Wei Jing.

When she was half asleep and half awake at night, she finally got up and went outside quietly. When she saw Zhao Shizhu standing under the corridor, her eyes were fixed on him.

Looking at it this way, the usually high-spirited emperor now looked particularly lonely.

She walked to his side silently, and when she saw tears in his eyes, she was a little at a loss for a moment.

"you……"

"I heard that Liu Hu loved my mother very much. I also heard that the first thing he did every time he came to court was to go to the backyard to see my mother. But I searched this house carefully and found no trace of my mother living here." Zhao Shizhu broke the silence, his voice a little hoarse.

"That means he had a backup plan. He guessed that you were not that easy to deal with, so he moved your mother somewhere else in advance." Su Ci found a good excuse.

Zhao Shizhu looked at Su Ci and said, "I interrogated Liu Hu's subordinates, all those who had been with him for a long time, and they said they had never seen my mother show up."

If it is already too late, what is the point of him trying so hard to fight his way back to the capital?
Su Ci was speechless, not knowing what to say.

"They also said that they have only been working for Liu Hu in the past six months, and that every once in a while, those who worked for Liu Hu would disappear out of thin air." Zhao Shizhu said in a calm voice.

Su Ci was also an orphan. When she was little, she envied other children the most because they had mothers, but she didn’t.

Now that she herself is a mother, she can more deeply understand the bond between blood and family. During the day, she thought for a moment that it would be better if the child was gone, but she couldn't bear to let go from the bottom of her heart.

"Don't think too much about it. I will meet Liu Hu tomorrow." Su Ci made a decision quickly.

Now that things have come to this, there must be a result.
